## What is CVE-2025-30345?

CVE-2025-30345 is a low-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Intevation OpenSlides, published on 21 Mar 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

An issue was discovered in OpenSlides before 4.2.5. When creating new chats via the chat_group.create action, the user is able to specify the name of the chat. Some HTML elements such as SCRIPT are filtered, whereas others are not. In most cases, HTML entities are encoded properly, but not when deleting chats or deleting messages in these chats. This potentially allows attackers to interfere with the layout of the rendered website, but it is unlikely that victims would click on deleted chats or deleted messages.

Weakness: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), CWE-116 (Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output)

What it is: CVE-2025-30345 is a low-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Intevation OpenSlides, published on 21 Mar 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-30345 exists.

Affected product: Intevation OpenSlides. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
